Dynamic Adaptation of Web 2.0 Applications by Combining Extended Device Profiles

摘要

This paper presents our approach to the dynamic adaptation of Web 2.0 applications. The work is based upon the assumption that the Web is evolving towards a cloud of customisable applications and data, where users will have the ultimate freedom to adapt their environments (named by T.V. Raman as 2~W). Our research aims at the provision of adaptable environments for users with special needs via an extension of standard device profiles combined with the modelling of Web applications based upon ARIA. We describe hereby our initial prototype and suggest extensions to ubiquitous Web applications via delivery context information.
